Independed Brands Vs Big Brands

Arcadia is a corporate group, that owns: Topshop, Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Miss Selfrige, Outfit, Topman and Wallis. With all of these shops owned by one company or should i say Sir Philip Green, there is very little variation between types of styles and prices, so if you decide to buy from any of those shops, you will be buying clothes that are one companies idea of what is in fashion.

3) have ranges that alot of people will like
